Facebook Fabulous: It's Cus' They're Awesome Like That

Peruse your list of friends on Facebook and I bet you'll find those one or two people whose lives are Facebook Fabulous. You know the ones I'm talking about. With every wall post, profile picture, and status update so carefully chosen, it's easy to see why they're the envy of the social networking world. Their lives are more far more fabulous than we mere mortals could ever even dream of. Everyone knows them. Everyone wants to be their friend. They either have a whopping roster of over 5,000 friends to prove their popularity or a special hand-picked group of 50 to demonstrate selectivity. In any case, you should thank your lucky stars you made the cut.

Their listed interests include irony, Mayan art, and eclectic bands you've never heard of. Don't even try to decipher their favorite quotes. The references are way too obscure for you.

Browse their profile pictures and admire how 'counter-cultural' or 'bohemian' they are. How can they not be? Part of being Facebook Fabulous means being depicted in seemingly candid sepia-toned photos with that Brooklyn-circa-1962 vibe.

I guarantee that you'll find at least one Facebook friend who fits this description. And do you know why? It's cus' they're awesome like that.
